Dean Appeal

None

The next time I hear a retailer label something as a “wardrobe staple” I’m going to fucking shoot a copywriter in the facial. To be clear, unless you’re a 45-year-old hedge fund manager going through a midlife crisis, a leather motorcycle jacket isn’t remotely essential to anyone’s wardrobe. Now that I’ve got some rants out of the way, let’s talk about the Schott Perfecto that’s been experiencing somewhat of a resurgence with the style elite. It’s a great piece of casual outerwear, but let’s get one thing straight, it's not for everyone. If you’ve got the balls and the cash, this version is American-made for that extra James Dean appeal and it’s available at Mr. Porter for $720.
